Li Yunlong grinned with an understanding expression and said in a very open-minded tone, "Oh, I understand the thoughts of these brothers very much."
Then, Li Yunlong frowned, "But...according to the latest news I know, your 38th Army seems to have recently crossed the Yellow River and entered northern Henan!"
"The five of you need to cross half of Jin Province and pass through multiple enemy-occupied areas along the way. The risk is too great!"
Listening to Li Yunlong's words, Huang Tianning hesitated in his heart. It was indeed not easy for him and others to plan the construction. There were too many unexpected factors.
But Lao Liu and the others behind him had some ideas and looked at each other a few times. The reason why they didn't want to join the Eighth Route Army in the past was because the other party had poor weapons and equipment.
Now look at this commander's army, it's very rich! It is not common even in their national army.
Anyway, we are fighting against Japanese invaders, so where can we fight differently?
Thinking of this, Lao Liu quietly poked Huang Tianning's back. Huang Tianning turned his head and looked at Lao Liu's eyes, and immediately understood what they were thinking.
But before he could speak, Xiao Yi behind him suddenly asked, "If I work with you, can I get that machine gun?!"
Hearing Xiao Yi ask himself, Li Yunlong knew that it was done, and suddenly smiled, "Hahaha, you are the machine gunner just now, don't worry, as long as you join the team, the machine gun is yours, and the bullet barrel is enough!"
Huang Tianning quickly pulled Xiao Yi and said, "Sorry, sir, this kid's brain is a bit messed up. We..."
Li Yunlong waved his hand and said it as an established fact, "Hey, it's okay. I, Li Yunlong, welcome everyone to join us!"
Huang Tianning, who was about to say something else, looked at Li Yunlong in surprise, "Sir, is that Li Yunlong?! The Li Yunlong who shot Sakata to death?!"
Li Yunlong was amused, "What? It doesn't look like it?"
After learning Li Yunlong's identity, Huang Tianning and others were immediately pleasantly surprised and no longer had any worries.
"Since it is Commander Li who invites you, we will definitely accept it. We have done it for the Eighth Route Army!"
"Hey! I didn't expect our old Li's name to be quite useful." Li Yunlong didn't expect that his name was stronger than any words. Now he has tasted the benefits of fame.
"We all heard about Captain Li's name in the prisoner of war camp. Kill Bantian and defeat the Bantian regiment!"
Li Yunlong called Zhang Dabiao, "Second Company Commander, they will be handed over to your company. Go back and change their clothes."
Soon, after the battlefield was cleaned, Li Yunlong and the others escorted the puppet troops back to the small dirt road and the woods.
After receiving the notice, Liu Bo led the team out of the woods and said, "Report to the battalion commander that everything is normal!"
"Well, let's set off as a team and continue to Guowang Village."
Li Yunlong ordered Liu Bo and Zhang Dabiao to set off as a team, and then took a deep look at the dejected puppet troops.
After Huang Tianning and the other five received their military uniforms, they followed the team and looked at the weapons of the soldiers and the unopened weapon boxes with surprise.
I originally thought that Captain Li's troops were already broad enough, but I didn't expect that I and others were still shallow. Now I really don't have to worry.
It was getting late, and under the afterglow of the setting sun, Li Yunlong and the soldiers of the seventh battalion arrived at Guowang Village.
After communicating with the villagers, the seventh battalion temporarily stationed in the village.
In a dilapidated courtyard, the soldiers were taking turns eating, and dim oil lamps were lit in the back room.
Li Yunlong took out the map and began to study it under the dim light of the fire.
"Huzi, go and call the first and second company commanders, and today's Huang Tianning." Li Yunlong shouted loudly without raising his head.
Huzi, who was eating steamed buns outside, immediately put down his bowl and ran to inform the two company commanders.
Not long after, Zhang Dabiao and three others came to Li Yunlong one after another.
"Report"
When Huang Tianning, who was the last to arrive, shouted a report, Li Yunlong raised his head and asked, "Everyone is here?"
Then he looked up Huang Tianning and said, "Hey, Platoon Leader Huang looks good, and this military uniform is pleasing to the eye."
At this time, Huang Tianning had already changed into the uniform of the Eighth Route Army, received a shell gun and an M3 submachine gun, and was assigned to temporarily serve as the platoon leader of the fifth platoon in the second company.
Huang Tianning laughed sincerely, "Thank you sir for your love!"
Li Yunlong waved his hand, "Okay, our Eighth Route Army is not interested in that. Since we are wearing new clothes, we should not follow the old path. My army is recruiting troops. You kid, work harder and remove the code in front!"
Then, Li Yunlong changed the topic and looked at Zhang Dabiao and Liu Bo, "Now the situation has changed, and I have a new idea."
"Our army wants to develop rapidly. Now we don't lack weapons. What we lack are experienced veterans and grassroots officers. These two things are killing our pace of expanding the team!"
"And if he doesn't vote for this deal that's coming to your door now, I'll lose a lot of money!"
As soon as Li Yunlong started talking, Zhang Dabiao knew what he was thinking. He was obviously thinking about the prisoners of war in the prison camp!
Liu Bo also roughly guessed Li Yunlong's thoughts, and even thought of the puppet troops who had been in their ranks.
Li Yunlong looked at Huang Tianning and pointed at Zhang Dabiao and Zhang Dabiao with his chin, "Tell them about the situation of your group of prisoners of war!"
Huang Tianning nodded, "Yes, we were originally in a prisoner of war camp in Jinzhong. There were about two thousand people in it. Most of them were captured in the Taiyuan Defense Battle. There were Niangziguan battlefield and Xinkou battlefield. Some are from the National Army, and a small number are from the Jin-Sui Army."
"Some time ago, for some reason, the Japs suddenly moved more than 200 of us to the vicinity of Jiexiu. A few of us took the opportunity to escape halfway, but I don't know the specific location of the new prisoner of war camp!"
Li Yunlong took over the conversation and pointed his finger on the map, "I just asked for information from those puppet soldiers. The specific location is here!"
Zhang Dabiao and the others looked down, "Liu Wang Temple?"
Li Yunlong nodded, "Yes, this place was originally a temple, but later it was converted into a concentration camp by the Japs. There were about a hundred Japs guarding it, but they were all garrison troops!"
Zhang Dabiao put forward his own suggestion, "Battal Commander, let's use those puppet troops to blend in with the puppet troops and approach the prisoner-of-war camp, preferably at dusk, and then take the opportunity to launch a surprise attack. We are sure to get in with one charge!"
"Those garrison troops are much weaker than the infantry regiment. Plus we still have rocket launchers. The battle can be resolved in half an hour!"
Liu Bo did not fully agree with Zhang Dabiao's method. Instead, he stared at the map and read it carefully, "Old Zhang, we may not have half an hour!"
Li Yunlong looked at Liu Bo with admiration, "The first company commander said it right. The difficulty is not in the garrison of those prisoner of war camps, but in this."
As he spoke, Li Yunlong clicked on a small county town not far from Liuwang Temple on the map.
"Wuyin County is only ten miles away from Liu Wang Temple, and a brigade of the Fourth Mixed Brigade of the Little Devils is stationed there."
"As soon as the gunfire sounds here, the Japs over there will have their vanguard troops arriving to support them in less than twenty minutes!"
After hearing Li Yunlong's information, Zhang Dabiao and Liu Bo frowned. This battle is not easy to fight!
